Fantasy Impact: He's leaving the Eagles to go back to the team he started his career with. He played for the Saints from 2010-2014, though the organization is much different nowadays. They have a defense that won't ask him to be the top-guy, but rather cover the slot while Marshon Lattimore and Ken Crawley handle the perimeter. The Saints suddenly have one of the best secondaries in all of football, as Robinson was one of the best slot cornerbacks in all of football last year.

Fantasy Impact: The Bears have been busy in free agency, using the money they have available under the cap. After signing Allen Robinson, they add the up-and-coming Burton to Mitch Trubisky's stable of pass-catchers. In the two games Zach Ertz missed last year, Burton stepped in and totaled seven catches for 112 yards and three touchdowns, with the Eagles offense barely missing a beat. Many believed that Burton was the hottest free agent tight end available, and apparently the Bears agreed after showing interest in Jimmy Graham yesterday. New head coach Matt Nagy may have found the player he'll look to emulate Travis Kelce's game in Chicago. This is obviously a huge knock to Adam Shaheen's fantasy value.

Fantasy Impact: It seems like another solid trade for the Eagles who were expected to release Smith this offseason. While Worley isn't a lockdown cornerback or anything, he's a solid guy to round out a depth chart. With the move to the Panthers, Smith should work well with Cam Newton's big arm. If you remember just a few years ago, Newton helped Ted Ginn finish as a top-30 wide receiver in his age-30 season.

Vinny Curry is a candidate to be released by the Philadelphia Eagles as the team attempts to clear up some money to get under the salary cap, according to a report from Ian Rapoport. Rapoport has updated his initial report to add that the Eagles could potentially restructure Curry's contract in order to keep him, and that teams have reached out about the possibility of trading for Curry. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Curry had a solid year for the Super Bowl champs, especially against the run, but he only had three sacks and carries an $11 million cap hit for the 2018 season. With the Eagles up against the salary cap, it was not likely that Curry would be returning at his current salary, and now it sounds like a trade, release, or contract restructuring are all possibilities.

Fantasy Impact: Rapoport also stated that Jeffery underwent a surgery to repair a rotator cuff injury suffered at some point last preseason -- he ultimately played through the ailment for the duration of the 2017 campaign plus the postseason. Per reports via Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the "goal" for Jeffery's recovery is for him to be ready for the 2018 season opener, though optimism suggests that a preseason return is feasible barring a setback.

Fantasy Impact: Although Agholor was an underproductive bust in his first two seasons in the NFL, the third-year wideout broke out in 2018, accumulating a 62-768-8 stat line while appearing in all 16 games for the first time in his career. Agholor, a big play threat, home run hitter any time he touches the ball, is due roughly $1.72 million in 2018 with the aforementioned club option for 2019, which the team will most likely exercise given his recent surge in production. Perhaps the best thing for the Eagles to do when it comes to their salary cap is to extend Agholor now -- if they indeed plan to keep him -- at a much lesser rate than he would garner in the event he performs in a high-level again next season.

Nick Foles completed 28 of 43 pass attempts for 373 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in the Eagles' win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII. He also caught a touchdown pass and was named MVP.

Fantasy Impact: Foles was simply outstanding in the game, and even his interception, which Alshon Jeffery tipped high into the air, was not his fault. Absent a trade, he should remain with the Eagles next season as the backup quarterback. But expect the Eagles to receive plenty of trade offers in the offseason, which could lead to a starting job for Foles next year. If he does get traded and lands in the right spot, he should make a fine fantasy option.

Zach Ertz caught seven of nine targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

Fantasy Impact: Ertz put the exclamation point on an outstanding season with an 11-yard touchdown grab that (after a lengthy review) proved to be the game-winning catch in the Super Bowl. Ertz caps off a tremendous season that saw him finish as one of the few truly elite tight ends in fantasy football. With the core of the Eagles team intact next season, expect another excellent year from the tight end.

Corey Clement rushed three times for eight yards and caught four passes for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

Fantasy Impact: Clement had two enormous plays - a 55-yard catch-and-run and a 22-yard touchdown catch to give the Eagles a 29-19 lead in the third quarter. Though he got sporadic work throughout the season, Clement proved himself to be an explosive playmaker. With LeGarrette Blount a free agent, Clement's role should only grow in 2018.

LeGarrette Blount rushed 14 times for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

Fantasy Impact: Blount was outstanding in the game, and his 21-yard touchdown run gave the Eagles a 12-point lead in the second quarter. Blount will be an unrestricted free agent next year, and it's unclear whether he will return to the Eagles. But he showed enough this season that he should likely catch on somewhere, and at least find a role as a goal-line back.

Jay Ajay rushed nine times for 57 yards in the Eagles' win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

Fantasy Impact: Ajayi looked to be battling through his ankle injury in the game, as his nine touches were the fewest he had totaled in any of his previous six games. Although he had the least productive game of the Eagles' three running backs, he clearly ran hard and was effective when he did play. Under contract for another season, Ajayi should be the primary ball carrier for the Eagles next year, though he'll still likely be splitting carries with at least one other back.

The Eagles were blanked by the Cowboys in Week 17, by a score of 6-0, which meant no work for kicker Jake Elliott.

Fantasy Impact: Elliott finished the season making 83% of his field goals and 92% of his extra points. His consistency was more of a problem than his distance. If he can get some consistency and pull together his shorter kicks, he will be an asset to the Eagles in 2018.

The Philadelphia Eagles DST had a huge day, by the numbers, against the Raiders, as they won 19-10. They had a sack, five turnovers, and a special teams touchdown at the end of the game.

Fantasy Impact: The defense was great by numbers, but was once again exposed as vulnerable at the cornerback position against the deep ball and double moves. This is a very good defense that could be elite, but could also fall apart in the playoffs against a good squad if they're not careful.

Fantasy Impact: The sad part is that it came on a play that didn't even matter, as his touchdown was called back due to a penalty. It's a massive blow to an Eagles team that had Super Bowl aspirations. Wentz was playing as well as anyone in the league, and will finish the year with 3,296 yards, 33 touchdowns, and just 7 interceptions. His timeline should be announced soon, as they'll likely have to wait until the swelling goes down for surgery. They'll now go from the MVP-candidate Wentz, to Nick Foles. While some may remember what he did back in 2013, Foles has been a pretty average quarterback while throwing 23 touchdowns and 20 interceptions over the last four seasons. His first test will come on the road this week against the Giants struggling defense. This injury is a downgrade for everyone in the passing game, including Alshon Jeffery.

Shelton Gibson is making his Eagles debut against the Bears in Week 12. He's active over Marcus Johnson. (Source: Zach Berman on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Gibson is a speedster who ran a sub-4.40 40-yard dash at his pro day in the summer, but he struggled mightily catching passes and running routes in training camp and has been inactive all season despite making the 53-man roster. He is active over Johnson, who is a reserve wide receiver who rotates into the game fairly infrequently. It could be that the Eagles are pleased with Gibson's progression and are interested in seeing if he can stretch defenses and open up the passing game for their other receivers, but it is more likely that he steps into Johnson's role this week.

Wendell Smallwood is a healthy inactive for the Eagles for the second straight week and will miss Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. (Source: Eliot Shorr-Parks on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Smallwood is the odd man out for the Eagles at running back right now after the trade for Jay Ajayi prior to the NFL trade deadline. With Blount as the starter, Ajayi as the newly-acquired starter in waiting, Kenjon Barner as the punt and kick returner, and Corey Clement playing very well, Smallwood could be a healthy inactive for the foreseeable future unless there is an injury to one of the names above.

Kenjon Barner rushed once for a four-yard touchdown and added one reception for 22 yards in Sunday's win over the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact: Barner admitted in an interview on Monday afternoon that he was not initially supposed to receive the carry that resulted in his touchdown, but he stayed in the game after catching a 22-yard pass down the sideline from Carson Wentz after Wentz rushed the offense to the line. Despite the touchdown, Barner only played two offensive snaps on Sunday and is mostly just a kick and punt returner for the Eagles. On Sunday, he served the additional purpose of frustrating the fantasy owners of Blount, Ajayi, and Clement.

Eagles' fourth receiver Mack Hollins got involved in the team's 34-24 win over the Redskins on Monday Night Football, catching a 64 yard touchdown pass. It was his only reception.

Fantasy Impact: You likely didn't start Hollins, but not-so-small developments like this are good for a player's career. It remains to be seen if Hollins can start to develop the ability to be more than just a deep threat in the offseason. He's off the redraft radar but should be held until further notice on dynasty teams.
